eslint-config-airbnb-base provides a shareable ESLint configuration that enforces Airbnb's JavaScript style guide, offering a solid foundation for consistent code quality in your projects. Comparing versions 5.0.0 and 4.0.2, several updates stand out for developers.
Version 5.0.0 brings notable dependency updates. Most significantly, it upgrades the peer and dev dependency on eslint to ^3.1.1 from ^3.0.1. It also upgrades eslint-plugin-import to ^1.11.1 from ^1.10.3. The bump in eslint and eslint-plugin-import versions suggest that version 5.0.0 likely incorporates new linting rules, bug fixes, and potential performance improvements associated with those updated dependencies.
Furthermore, version 5.0.0 introduces babel-preset-airbnb as a dev dependency, which wasn't present in version 4.0.2. This inclusion suggests enhanced support or integration with Babel, likely catering to projects utilizing newer ECMAScript features and requiring transpilation.
For developers considering upgrading, these changes are key, as they could necessitate adjustments to existing codebases to align with the updated linting rules. Projects heavily reliant on ES6+ features via Babel might particularly benefit from the improved Babel integration offered by version 5.0.0. The date of release can also be interesting, version 5.0.0 was released on July 24, 2016, while version 4.0.2 was released on July 15, 2016, almost 10 days earlier.
